Cross Stitch #52- Special Edition: Kitting and Converting Colors! 🌈

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

I’m sorry the lighting isn’t the best in this video...apparently I need to step up my game with tutorials! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@bobbieb.2795]

Thanks so much, Nell, for all your videos and tips. You have the most beautiful voice! 😊

[@momv2pa]

I am fascinated by your use of different fabric colors. I’ve been using white for so long, I see I am in a rut. Will have to change that. Thank you for an eye opening video!

[@tinacarlile7011]

Playing with colors is so much fun. I love that you change them some to suit your tastes and still stay within the designer's intentions.

[@kerryb6787]

Your video has inspired my husband to sort my floss by color. Thank you! Lol.

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

That is awesome!

[@jeantruckey1502]

Thanks for sharing. I’m pretty sure I need to increase my floss stash!

[@judithlockhart7137]

Great video - thanks for sharing how you make your color choices - your stitching is always so pretty!

[@ellenrainie3156]

Hi Nell! I did find the video a little dark but I lightened my screen up and all was well. What a great tutorial - I have stitched for over 40 years and I have only started to change colors in the last few years - old dog, new tricks. Thanks for taking the time. Your floss organization video was a big help also. Happy summer stitching!

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

Oh I'm glad you were able to lighten things up. My hubby is figuring out a way to make things a little brighter the next time I do this kind of video. ;)

[@LindaFromMySelfCareStudio]

I finally got a decent yarn stash, and now, seeing this, I want a floss (and fabric) stash, lol. I'm just a girl who wants all the things . . . thanks for sharing!

[@Happinessiscrossstitching]

Hi Nell, I have been binge watching your videos for over a week now, everything you make is so lovely and your colour choices are fabulous. This video was so helpful. Thankyou!

[@JennyFleming]

What a fun video Nell!

[@ericasaint48]

This was fun and interesting. Thank you! I enjoyed watching your process.

[@teresaatkinson5610]

This was fun. I too do similar things to choose my own colors. I'm so happy KZbin put you on a recommended list. I've enjoyed every visit.

[@jmarie862]

This is such a wonderful video and the best thing I've seen in a long time! I loved hearing about your process and why you are choosing your colors. I may have to rethink my floss organization, which is alphabetical, but may need to go by color now. Your process for picking fabrics was also eye opening. Would love to see more of these - it's just fascinating. Thank you for this!

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

You are so welcome!

[@charladronka1854]

Thank you so much! I am in awe of your ability to choose colors based on the feel you want for your project! So talented😄

[@beckygodby713]

Fantastic tutorial!!! Very easy to follow your thought processes and I'm sure it will be very helpful next time I need to stitch from stash!

[@PeggyV69]

Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed watching to select your colors. And can I say OMG-if I walked into your craft room/area I would think I died & gone to stitch heaven. I could spend hours sitting on the floor surrounded be all your flowers & ohhing & shying over all the pretty colors. I can just imagine the stacks of beautiful fabrics you must have.🤗

[@marilynkelley3707]

Thank you for this video. I’ve admired your color conversions and now, maybe, I can do it, too. I

[@adelina1559]

Hi Nell! I am absolutely fascinated seeing your creative process. Really ipnotic for me! Thank you. I hope you’ll have a faboulos stitching week!🤗🤗🌈🌈🌈🧵🧵

[@stitchinglis]

Hi Nell! This was fascinating. I loved watching this process. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I hope you have a great stitchy week. Looking forward to your next update.

[@misheyp.5103]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. It was so helpful. 💜

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Nell, this was an awesome tutorial...you make it seem so easy...thanks and have a great week❤️

[@stitchingbythemoon]

Great video, Nell! Thank you for taking the time to show us your process.

[@beubeuhandcrafts984]

It was an adventure! I enjoyed the whole process, thank you for sharing. Take care

[@lyncampbell992]

I enjoyed the whole tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

[@kathybelscherklein6460]

Absolutely amazing. I enjoyed this so much and learned so much also. Thank you for an excellent tutorial.

[@karenlynn4548]

Watching your process was so helpful!!! Thank you for sharing this with us. Your AMAZING!

[@normajeansicard4842]

Hi Nell! Thanks for putting this video together! It was so therapeutic watching you select your fabric and threads. Sooooo maybe you should do a video EVERY TIME you kit up a new project ;). You have quite a selection of threads/colors to choose from. I need to start building my supply :). By the way, love your nails! Have a great week!

[@tarafell6301]

That was such fun - as it should be. I’ll need to be less intimidated and consider it play. I just found your channel this week and loved your storage video. If I hadn’t just set up another color system, I would have gone with this. I use the snap boxes for my wool embroidery and as work boxes, but I never thought of them. Thanks.

[@cynthiavang6712]

OMGGG I JUST LOVED YOUR STASH OF FLOSSES! I end up signing up for the flosses. Yay!

[@somerwest441]

You. Are. Awesome. I Love everything in your channel. This video was great, really enjoyed seeing your process for kitting and picking colors. I

[@cindykatuin800]

Thank you. I do something similar to you with floss. However, I never thought of the way you do fabric. Thank you!

[@claudiam146]

Thank you!!!!!! This was so informative. I don’t have a clue about color theory, so having you explain your thoughts is so helpful. I get it now!! I have always been to scared to try this on my own, and you explained it beautifully!! I hope you have a great stitchy week.

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@karideising1675]

Well done, thank you for taking your time!

[@lesliehurley-phatcatphloss1754]

You have a gift for this, Nell! I dislike kitting, so I’d just like you to come on over and kit up all my projects from now on. MO isn’t that far from NW Arkansas, LOL!

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

Haha oh man if only! I love kitting! ;)

[@ac4mailc15]

Thank you SO much for sharing your decision process! I am known to combine discordant undertones, so have been afraid to change colors. Do you ever have to hunt through other kitted projects for a color that is already in use? I would worry that I was not able to see all the possibilities that I had bc they were in other kits. Thank you again!

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

Haha yes this is a problem for me sometimes. It's good motivation for me to get things finished though, since then I can put the threads back and make them available for other projects! If I really can't find anything to use, I'll usually wait to kit that project up until I have more appropriate colors available. Helps me keep the number of my wips to a reasonable number! ;)

[@ginacates6110]

Thank you for sharing your process in color changing, you are really talented! I'm not good at color changes, I can change 1 or 2 colors. I love your changes for the September Word Play, can't wait to see it stitched!

[@sheilas1283]

That was fascinating, Nell! I felt as though I was standing there next to you! I kept saying things like “oh yes, that’s nice!” and “no, I liked the first one better!” 😂 No wonder your pieces always look fantastic: you seem to have such a good knowledge of tones and shades. I’m a bit clueless! Thanks for taking the trouble to do this.

[@lindarippstein4489]

I loved this video ! I’m so new at all of this stitching. Do you have a video on how to get the correct sized cloth? Yours look so perfectly cut.

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

I use the fabric calculator at 123stitch and then order the corresponding fabric size. It comes cut and serged on the edges so I don't have to do anything to it! ;)

[@kathyeggleston1725]

Thank you for showing this!

[@DucksandStitches]

Great job! You pick your colors the same way I do.

[@kathyharris7158]

Thanks. This was very helpful. I don’t always like the fabric recommended in a chart or can’t get that and have trouble deciding what else to use.

[@judybuelow8049]

Thanks for showing how to do this.

[@chrissieb3350]

I love your videos! Do you ever just use the called for colors or do you always choose your own? Plus I ❤️ your organization, where did you get your floss boxes?

[@janniestanley]

You always always sound positive. Now I gotta go and stitch for a bit cuz you motivated me😊. Such a practical and logical way of kitting up. Thx Nell. Also how in the heck do you get every wrinkle out of your fabrics? I iron all the time but the fabrics you show are perfect! I haven’t gotten my nails done since the shutdown. Yours always look so nice. Take care.

[@shabbythimblebycarolyn]

Nell I love this video and enjoyed watching your process. Could you tell me how you go about the purchasing process for over dyed flosses? Do you choose by color family, chart colors or another method. Do you purchase one skein at a time or a group that goes together? Thanks

[@melissaj8384]

THANK YOU .

[@melissao7840]

Thank you so much!!!😇🥰

[@judyalieff7470]

Did you have all these materials on hand? if so, what size are the materials. I think it is very hard to tell the colors on the internet in choosing a fabric. Any suggestions?

[@barbarawallin6162]

Thank you for that tutorial. I really enjoyed your process. Is the gingerbread and brash color 32 ct? I would love to be able to change colors like that. I will need to try! I thought your lighting was fine. 😊

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

Yes ma'am! 32 ct on both. :)

[@sheriking4041]

I have September Word Play on order and I’m sure you have many requests as mine, could you provide me you list of chosen colors for this project. It was so fun watching you select colors. I’m just getting back into cross stitch and I don’t have any over dyed floss so I need to start gathering for my stash. Do you have any suggestions on how. I have just sign up at Victorian Motto and Color and Cotton is not taking any more.

[@sharonedelman5839]

Hi Nell, I would like to know if any Word Play cross stitch patterns have you completed? I have purchased all the patterns but have not as yet started. I see you are ready to start on one of these patterns. Enjoy stitching.

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

I have finished April, but that is the only one completed. I hope to have to whole series done in the next year!

[@debbiehinkle1119]

Do you mind me asking what brand of floss do you use?

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

I use all different brands, but mostly Victorian Motto threads with some Classic Colorworks, Weeks Dye Works, and Gentle Arts thread mixed in. And DMC. :)

[@debbiehinkle1119]

Do you have a favorite? Your go to for Quality thread?

[@barbarabell6527]

Just to let you know that right now Walmart has in the back to school section your stackable totes you use for your threads.

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

Ooh good to know! Thanks!

[@marshakruze6056]

I thought it was excellent.

[@inezharrell4339]

Thanks for sharing 12:44PM Enjoy your evening 😊 InezArnetta

[@VictoriasCraftyRoom]

Could have better videos if you had a little better light. And for goodness sakes get some sleep and coffee...

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

Haha thank you, I'll try! ;) And I agree with you on the lighting...I'm working on it!

[@GilaMunster]

Hi! I just wanted to drop a note and let you know how much I've been enjoying your channel. Ever since I found you I've watched (and rewatched!) so many of your videos, I love playing them in the background while I draw or stitch! I recently got into cross stitching and your videos have helped me to navigate through fabrics and patterns. Hope you have a great week!

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

Thank you so much!!
